Electricity sector profit margins:

UK 23% - 38%
Spain 11% - 13%
Germany 9 - 11%
France 6 - 9%

But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid.

They will use 73GW of electricity.

The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW.

They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined.

And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.

it shows a remarkable degree of restraint on the part of 18-24 year olds that only a handful of them are choosing to drive into oncoming traffic each week when unpaid shelf stacking is the sole offer on the table

OMG! This is after the massive hail storm in Tarrgona, Spain yesterday 😭

But it’s “just a summer storm”

For those like Hillary Clinton, Netanyahu is simply a PR problem.

She doesn’t speak out about the crimes committed by Israel under Netanyahu: to the contrary, she monsters those who do.

She objects to Netanyahu hurting Israel’s image, rather than murdering Palestinians

America? Tornado alley?

Nope! This tornado footage is from southern France ahead of severe thunderstorms.

Other parts of France have seen severe thunderstorms causing structural damage to buildings.

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

There’s been in excess of 100,000 lightning strikes across parts of France and Spain today with severe thunderstorms bringing large hail, very strong wind gusts and a strong tornado.

Reports of damage looks to be rather widespread. A very high-end severe event.

Everywhere you look there is a gentle solicitation that you relinquish your basic skills and fundamental human knowledge to a robot.

That same robot will charge you as soon as you’re too dumb and out of practice to have any other option but to pay.
Choices.

In the communications industry we often say ‘show, don’t tell.’ I’d like to congratulate the beavers of the Holincote River for showing the nation what drought resistance looks like. They got the lead story today. No showing off just getting on with it. https://t.co/dHQodDaErR

ICE has gotten deportation numbers up by targeting people who abide by the rules, because they are easier to track down

"The horses were packed into echoing metal trailers and trucked 1,800 miles east to the pens of a hard-luck livestock trader in Ohio named Brandon Jones, who bought them for $25 each.

A day later, two double-decker cattle trucks pulled up at midnight, loaded the mustangs and quickly drove off into the night.

From there the mustangs disappeared. They never appeared at a public auction. The trader won’t say where they went. Wild horse advocates suspect the horses were shipped to slaughter."

Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on Israel's killing of Hind Rajab

2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor

She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.

The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."

None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.

After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.

As soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.

Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.

Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.

Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.

The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.

I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).

I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.

Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.

Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and national infrastructure unit.

It's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.

The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?

I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.

If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?

Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!
